THE present week brings forth new
developments in our mining interests.
which promise to bring about more
activity than has been shown for some
time. Outside parties are taking hold
of some of our promising properties
with Il view of developing them, and
have put their forces to work; while
those who have claims patented for
several years past lie back without
expanding dollar in developing their
property, although there is number
of instances where ore could be handled
at profit if sufficient was expended in
opening up the properties in system
attic shape. However, we believe it
will he done by the new corners whose
experience in mining is such that they
can be counted upon in developing
our resources in a shape that will bring
about activity and prosperity in the
district.

s chools in Alaska

The houses of the natives are all
numbered in large figures, painted in
black over the front and only en-
trance to their homes, the numbers
consecutively. This metropolitan
feature was introduced by one Cap
tain Glass, United States military
officer, then stationed at Sitka, and
was inaugurated as a military meas
uTe before the civil Government was
established, and for the purpose of
locating and identifying a truant In
dian child when absent from the In
dian school during the hours of its
session. At that time the Indian
children were compelled by the mil
itary authorities to attend school,
each scholar being obliged to wear q
tag made of tin and fastened by
means of string around the neck.
The tag was about three times the
size of q silver dollar, and bore the
number of the child in school and
number of the house in which it lived.
II a child was found on the street
during school hours the Indian po-
liceman who was also chief Of the
tribe whose name is Anneshootz, was
under strict orders to take the mum
Der of the tag and report it, The
next morning the head Indian of the
house to which the child belonged
was summoned to appear and answer
for the absence of the truant. and if
such absence was found to have been
wilful the head Indian was fined or
imprisoned. A few fines were found
sufficient, and had the effect of pro-
curing a prompt and punctusl atten-
dance of all the children.
This means was found necessary
in order to overcome the antipathy
of the parents against having their
children educated and thereby drawn
away from the ancient customs, ira
ditions and methods of living of their
race. This custom has fallen into
disuse since the establishment of
civil government in May, 1884 The
parents have come to know aud I'M
derstand the benefits derived from
the education of their children, and
Gre now quite ready to lend their as
sistance in compelling them to attend
the school.
The term of school commences in
September Of each year, and contin-
ues forty-four weeks. There are ten
teachers and l05 scholars, with about
equal proportions of boys and girls,
running in age from five to eighteen
years, and representing the several
tribes 0f South eastern Alaska. They
are taught the primary English
branches, and the boys are also in
structed in blacksmithing, cooper
age, cabinet-making and carpentry,
while the girls are taught sewing,
hitting, cooking and various other
ousehold Duties Chicago Herald.

There are eight or ten clubs altogether,
